I don't think that little bit of rubber will hurt but like everyone else I think the hops will clog that up.
You shouldn't be using steel parts on anything, switch the nipple and reducer to brass.
That nipple and reducer didn't look stainless, I could be wrong....
All of the SS reducers I've seen look like this, the one you show looks galvanized...
Am I missing something? Did your video say mash filter? There are no hops in a mash and you definitely do not want to mash in that bucket.
It's not my vid if that is what you mean. I just want to use the same thing as a hop filter in my kettle.
